Hashoo Foundation to promote early childhood education

ISLAMABAD: Hashoo Foundation, an NGO and Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) will work together to promote early childhood education and development (ECHD) in the country.

It was decided at a meeting held here Thursday between the Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Nasir Mahmood and the Hashoo Foundation’s program advisor Shad Muhammad and Head of Education Shahida Sultan.

The two sides agreed that they will coordinate in launching short diploma and certificate courses in ECHD. They will promote cooperative partnership in development of relevant curriculum and promotion of social entrepreneurship.

The program details about the cooperative partnership will be decided later at the level of a joint working committee. Dr Nasir Mahmood said that AIOU was laying great focus on the early childhood education and has already launched various programs to this effect.

The Hashoo Foundation is engaged in providing accessibility to quality education for drop outs coming from marginalized families. Empowering children through education and making them self-reliant.

I hope they focus on learning through play. There is no need to dump kids into a traditional classroom based environment until they are a bit maturer. Follow the model they have in Sweden where formal class room based education starts at 7. Before then kids learn in a pre-school environment, where it is more fun and the learning is done at less intensity.

It also happens to coincide with the sunnah method of raising children.

Finland also does so and Singapore recently announced it will remove positions in classrooms to avoid competition and make studying fun instead of a competition!

I agree they should teach kids basics of humanity and manners in first 7 yrs!

Yes it does yet many are unaware
